This fish was empty when I saw it last month. The idea was to put all rubbish and litter from the beach here to show the impact of plastic in the oceans. I can't believe it's now full. Simple are yet so powerful. Making us more mindful of our plastic wastes.

This is a good way to remind people not to throw plastic at the beach.

@mildredtabitha I am not sure they seem to have left it full. I think it's staying like that for a bit to show to people and hopefully it gets emptied again.

@flapiz so now that it's full, does that mean there is a truck to collect all the waste so it can be empty again?

Plastic is the real culprit of so many environmental disasters. We need to be really mindful about it's use and recycling. Marine life has suffered a great toll due to these plastic wastes.

@flapiz Human beings are on highest pedestal of evolution and so we are born with a huge responsibility of taking care of all other life forms. But sadly we become selfish and arrogant and feel that we are superior and own them. Now the nature is backfiring at us and we need to mend our ways

@arunima25 it's become quite hard though. We have become accustomed to using convenient things such as these plastic packaging. It's went on for a very long time it's hard to actually stop using it now. There have been efforts to minimise waste but I think government should impose stricter policies regarding loitering as well.

It is sad to see it in this presentation. I think it is a powerful message.
